On the recordApril 29, 2026
As we begin the 94th Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Southeastern Regional Conference in Birmingham, Alabama, I rise to honor the extraordinary leadership of Dr. Tracey Morant Adams, the 27th southeastern regional director. From her initiation into the campus of University of Montevallo to her tenure as the 27th southeastern regional director, Tracey has embodied the values of sisterhood, scholarship, and service to all mankind. During her 4-year tenure, she has led the work of over 13,000 members across Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama. She has launched signature initiatives that have strengthened chapters, expanded voter engagement, and advanced economic empowerment. Tracey's leadership is matched by her extraordinary professional achievements as well. On a personal note, Tracey and I share more than just titles and service. We have a 30-year friendship and sisterhood. As I reflect on Tracey's service, I cannot help but think of my mother, Nancy Gardner Sewell, the 18th southeastern regional director. Mom would be so proud to see how Tracey has followed in her footsteps, protecting the legacy of our beloved sorority while boldly imagining our future. I can almost hear my mother saying: Well-done, my daughter. Well-done.
